Cork City defender Cian Coleman will have to serve a two-match suspension after the Leesiders’ appeal for wrongful dismissal was rejected on Monday by the FAI.
Coleman was sent off deep into injury-time during City’s 2-1 defeat to Dundalk last Friday.
His was the second red card of the night for the visitors to Oriel Park, with Josh Honohan picking up two bookings in the space of two minutes close to the end of the game.
